*I’ve included the back story so the post is quite long, jump to the third paragraph if you want to skip it*
I first met “Sam” in a hotel lobby. He immediately caught my eye. He was gorgeous, a fair bit older than me, had piercing blue eyes and silky grey hair that makes you just want to run your hands through it. We were both there for a conference and kept bumping into each other over the course of the event. I flirted with him a little at the bar, but Sam didn’t seem interested. I left the conference with a new connection and a little bit of a crush.
Fast forward a few months and I was on vacation driving through the town where Sam lived. I decided to drop him a message to see if he had any local recommendations. Sam was out of town for the weekend but sent me some local spots to visit. After giving me his recommendations, Sam was keen to keep texting and started outrageously flirting. I knew I shouldn’t flirt back, but I couldn’t resist him, there was something about him… I had to have him.
